“It’s certainly exciting to have three people from the same class running in college,” coach John Donahue said. “That certainly says a lot about that senior class.”
Thomas Greve – DeSales University (Cross Country/Track)
Major: Marketing/Business Administration
Final list of colleges: DeSales, St. Joseph’s, Temple, Ursinus
Reasons for choosing Arcadia: “I chose DeSales University because it just felt like home.”
Favorite high school sports memory: “My favorite memory is during freshman and junior year going to Six Flags Great Adventure and running through the park.”
Coach John Donahue says: “Tommy Greve was a four-year runner for us. He was one of our top runners and a very good leader. Tommy is going to DeSales and running for the same coach I ran for. Even at some of the practices now without him leading some of the underclassmen – Tommy would normally do that, so it shows what we lost and what he meant to the program.”
About Tommy:
Favorite food: Spaghetti
Favorite movie: Avengers: Endgame
Favorite music: Kanye
Josiah Moyer – Messiah College (Cross Country/Track)
Major: Biomedical Engineering
Final list of colleges: Messiah, Penn State, Pitt, DeSales
Reasons for choosing Messiah: “I decided on Messiah simply because they had the major I wanted to pursue, it was an incredible program, and they offered a really good running program.”
Favorite high school sports memory: “Qualifying for states in cross country and then having my whole team come out to Hershey with me to support me.”
Coach John Donahue says: “Josiah is an excellent runner who qualified for states. He overcame different injuries and a real serious heat issue early in the season to qualify for states. It was a great accomplishment. I’m looking forward to seeing how much he can improve in college. I think the extra two miles will probably help him when he gets used to more mileage training.”
About Josiah:
Favorite food: Chicken
Favorite TV show: Game of Thrones
Favorite music: Imagine Dragons
Kevin Walter – Arcadia University (Cross Country)
Major: Public Health/Pre-Physician Assistant
Final list of colleges: Arcadia, DeSales, Jefferson University
Reasons for choosing Arcadia: “I chose Arcadia University for cross country because I met with the coach, and he was really nice, and he said, ‘I’ll build the team around you, I believe in you and I think you’d be a great runner for me.’”
Favorite high school sports memory: “Running my best time in my last race at Lehigh University.”
Coach John Donahue says: “Kevin really listened to me – a lot of times kids get scared of running in college. I try and tell them, especially at small colleges, you don’t necessarily have to be a state champion to run in college. I’m really excited he’s going to continue his running career. Sometimes, in high school especially, the boys see tremendous improvement by the time they get to college. I really think Kevin can follow on that path.”
